Safe & Accurate Compounding

Medical Center Pharmacy is the first pharmacy in the eastern North Carolina area to earn the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board’s Seal of Accreditation – a system of standards created by some of the leading organizations in compounding pharmacy.

Compounding Pharmacy

Patient-Specific (503A) Products vs. Office-Use (503B) Products

There are two types of compounding organizations: 503A and 503B.

503A pharmacies compound medications for specific patients whose prescriptions are sent by their healthcare provider. Patients can pick up their prescriptions at these pharmacies or they can be shipped. These prescriptions must be for individual patients in quantities that are sufficient for treatment of a single patient. Medical Center Specialty Pharmacy is a 503A compounding pharmacy.

503B outsourcing facilities can compound products on a larger scale to dispense in bulk for healthcare providers to have on hand and administer as needed.

State boards of pharmacy regulate compounding pharmacies, but compounding pharmacies are also subject to oversight by state and federal agencies

The FDA has oversight of the integrity and safety of the compounded products and mainly oversees 503B outsourcing facilities.
The DEA has oversight of any controlled substances (i.e., testosterone) present in compounded products.
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) develops standards around product integrity, safety, and purity.

503A Compounding Pharmacy

503B Outsourcing Facility

A 503A compounding pharmacy produces patient-specific prescriptions and primarily dispenses medications to patients for at-home use. It is required by state boards of pharmacy to adhere to USP <795>, <797>, <800>, and other standards.

A 503B outsourcing facility is allowed to produce large or bulk quantities to sell to healthcare providers, hospitals, and clinics. This type of facility must comply with strict FDA current good manufacturing practices (CGMP) standards.

Simple. Innovative. Effective.

Think of a compounding pharmacy as a one-of-a-kind approach. Compounding pharmacies create personalized products for specific patients, customizing dosage forms, strengths of a medication, and even the ingredients.

When patients need something different than what’s commercially available, compounding pharmacies like Medical Center Specialty Pharmacy can fill the gap. It’s all about expanding patients’ access to quality, affordable products that enhance their health journeys.
